C• ii- lins, on College Hill in this city Tuesday morning about seven o'clock by shooting himself in the left breast with a shotgun. The boy had been reprimanded the night before for some boyish misdeed and altho the boy had shown sorrow for his wrong doing and had been forgiven by his folks, the matter seemed to weigh heavily on his conscience. After a boyish fight with his younger brother Tuesday morning and his grandmother had left the house, he made an angry and im- patient remark and ran into the bathroom and shot himself. The indications seem to show that he had loaded the gun and prepared the stick the night before after his reprimand for those in the ad- joining room to...

$M,-i 18,237 Deficit Shown in Operating Wires Washington, Nov. 13.— War -time operation of the telephone and telegraph systems of the country cost the Federal Government $11,- 418,237, according to a report of Postmaster General Burleson transmitted to Congress today by President Wilson. This sum rep- resents the difference between the net earnings of tin; companies taken over and the compensation guaranteed by the Government. No figures as to the operation of the cable systems which were un- der Federal control for six months were given, Mr. Burleson explaining that the reports from the companies had not yet been received. Any profits from the operation of these companies would reduce the total Govern- ment deficit, Mr. Burleson said. Total net earnings of the tele- phone and telegraph lines during Federal control were reported at $70,387,532, while the compensa- tion assured was $83,055,769. The total deficit included an estimated $3,000,000 for settlement of future i laims. Senio...

"1 Wells Must be 200 Feet Apart Latest Rule Proposed in Texas 1 if 1 Austin, Texas, Nov. 14.—The oil and g'iis department of the rail- road commission has been study- ing the question of over-produc- tion in certain oil fields in Texas. It regards over-production as a form of wholesale waste. The lire hazard is enormously increased when derricks are so close to- gether as almost to touch. Cer- tain fields in Texas have derricks us thick as cane in a canebreak. Enormous waste and peril neces- sarily is resulting. In eastern fields there is a fixed custom that wells shall be drilled not nearer than 200 feet from any well. The same rule was early adopted by the federal government in Okla- homa, and is written in as a term and condition of every govern- "nient lease, As a result fire risk is reduced to a minimum and the production is held down and the oil resources of the state are husbanded for the future while PASTIME Saturday Charlie Chaplin In his first Million Dollar picture.

War Time Prohibition As to the practical aspects of the matter, it should be recalled that the War-Time Prohibition Act will expire with the proclama- tion of peace.

Further evidence that Mexico is becoming civilized and the revolu- tion about over: Carl Morris has been matched to fight Jack John- •on in Mexico City. Thus does the white carry civilization to the dusky hued man. Two years ago when the cost of mining coal and placing it on the cars at the mines was $2,15 and the mine owners received $2.til for it, we were paying $8.00 per ton for coal. Now with the cost of production at $3.40 a ton we «re paying $12 a ton for coal. An increase of a little over a dollar on production is an excuse then of the operators and railroads making about $4.00 a ton more than they did. If we have to pay this ad- ditional profit, then we say to give it to the miners. What Uncle Sam should do is to put the coal pric...
